so I used Mabilo to download ringtones and notification sounds, now mabilo has options to set such ringtones as Set As, default or contact, etc. the problem is though that I have to go through the app to do it i want to be able to do it from the settings menu. is there anything specific that I should do? so i have to make a specifi folder to deferrentiate between the notifications and actual ringtones? what do i do?
I think you can take any sound as long as its in .ogg format and push it to the system/media/audio/ringtones folder using adb. I used Android Commander to push the ringtones from Euegen's froyo rom to the Fusion rom I'm running right now.

I was able to change boot animation right after root by using the same methods as I used on my DINC. But I want to replace the boot sound as well. I have tried renaiming to thunderfinal.mp3, android_audio.mp3, and (VZW_) something .mp3 to no avail. Any suggestions or success?

The boot sound is the FinalThunder.mp3
If you're rooted w/stock, the file is under /system/customize/resource
If you've flashed Adrynalyne's rom, it's under /system/media
you have to rename it finalthunder.mp3.old. It worked on mine
you guys are reading his question wrong. he doesnt want to get rid of thundersound he wants to add his own music or sound.
Right, so name it finalthunder, make sure it's an mp3, and adb push it to whichever location applies to him.

has that worked for you?
I did finalthunder.mp3 and named the renamed the old file to finalthunder.old before i even posted this and still i got nothing. Does it have a specific quality or codec used?
How to Turn the ThunderBolt's Boot Sound into a Ringtone/Alarm/Notification:
1) Grab the FinalThunder.mp3 file and place it on your /sdcard.
2) Install Ringdroid or a similar ringtone maker app from the Market.
3) Find "FinalThunder" in Ringdroid and open it.
4) Select only the parts of the sound you want to keep (if you want to keep the entire sound make sure Start = 0.0 seconds and End = 8.42 seconds) and save it as a Notification sound with whatever name you want it to have in the Settings menu.
This file now is modified for notification purposes and can be found in /sdcard/media/audio/notifications/<WhateverYouNamed>.mp3.
You can choose right then and there to make it your default notification sound or you can choose it later from the Settings->Sound->Notification Sound menu.
Enjoy!
Not what I was asking but good info though. I want to replace the boot sound with something custom.
I'm a newbie and need help. I have a rooted atrix running Gingerblur 3.5. I have used an app to create a custom ogg file to use as a notification. I then copied the file to system/media/audio/notifications. After rebooting the phone the file shows up in the list of notification choices and lets me select it. However the file is not being used by the system. The file directly beneath it is used even though the custom one is selected. What have I done wrong or failed to do?
Thanks.
handcentSMS has a ringtone picker that works great with other apps.
Edit:
After looking in root explorer.. Put your ogg in
/sdcard/media/audio/notifications
Not
/system/...

Thanks, but that was not the problem. Like I stated I am new at this, but I did figure out the problem. The permissions on the file were set to not allow the owner to do anything. After changing the owner permissions it is working now. I had to do this in the /system/media/audio/notifications because the sd card location did not allow permission changes.
Thanks again for your interest & reply though.

OP its good you figured it out. How did you change the permissions? Never heard of that..?

That is where I keep them and it works great for me, I never have the prob where the default changes. but! You have to put them in their correct folders..
/notifications
/ringtones
/alarms
To start with, I have the newest version of "CyanogenMod 9 nightly builds"
I might be missing something here but I can't seem to ADD new notifications to this MOD. I added a ringtone, (easy enough) but I have tried adding notifications to the Root DIR "notifications" and I have added them to DIR "media/audio/notifications" and neither show up. what am I missing?
Have you rebooted? The ROM scans the /system directory on boot.
If so, have you checked the permissions match the existing ogg or mp3 files?
Or, if you don't want to mess with system files, use Ringtone Maker app.

Yes and Yes.
Still not working...
i change my ringtones and stuff before flashing, just to let you know that can be done too
I have never had a problem doing it with any other ROM before. So i don't know what is going on with CM9...
Hi folks,
I flashed Sensedx5 ROM and I feel very happy with it.
But I miss some system audio files from Sense 4+. Ringtones, notifications and alarms have been deleted/changed in this new version of Sense.
So, I decided to extract files from a Sense 4 ROM (system/media/audio/... ) and pushed it into the right directories with ES file explorer (System write enabled).
It's OK for ringtones but not for alarms nor notifications. Files don't appear in customize menu.
Any idea to fix that?
I do not use Sense 5, but did you set the same permissions for them as the other files have there?
Yeah, already tried it. No change : files don't appear in the list (and erased after reboot)...

Are you using a custom kernel with system write protection disable?
No, I flashed Boot.img_Installer_RC2.0 - stock kernel.

Try to flash RC4.0, that one has system write protection disabled. It will work after that
Weird. Why does it work for ringtones and not for alarms and notifications?
Will give a try with NeXus kernel and see what happens. Stay tuned...
Double post. Deleted
You don't have to put them in system.
Simply put the media folders extracted from Sense 4+ with all its structure on sdcard will do. The system will pickup all the audio files when you select them in sound picker.
Doesn't work after flashing nexus kernel...

It didn't work at first try, but I did it again and reboot. Now it's working.
Thanks a lot, dude.
Can someone show me how to remove the system ringtones from my phone. I'm rooted running HD revolution Rom. I know there's a way to take them completely off. Thanx in advance!
Well there are 3 ways really...
Adb pull each file from path directory where ringtones are stored
Using a FE, extract zip, navigate to where ringtones are stored, and delete the contents then rezip ROM zip
Or you can use a FW with ROM installed. Navigate through the files. Locate the directory where ringtones are stored, and delete the files

Won't "adb pull" just copy the file, and not delete the original from /system?
But I agree with the other 2 solutions. The last is probably the easiest if the ROM is already installed.
But what difference would this make? It won't change the amount of memory taken by the system partition, will it? Unless the goal is just to not have to scroll though unneeded ringtones when making a selection?
Thanx
The purpose is to erase the stock ringtones completely. I have an app that shuffles my text and phone call tones but each time I set it up for specific ringtones it always adds the stocks tones. Besides I don't use the stock tones so it won't hurt taking them out.
